So its time for new tires. :( Iam looking for Better Dry traction than the Falken Ziex ZE-512 without sacraficing wet traction. So iam looking at Falken ST115s but i dont know many people who have had both, but from looking at the ST115 tread pattern... it doesnt look like it would have as good of wet traction performance as Ziexs. Both have same tread wear, speed rating, and temperature ratings.

Which would u do? Stick with Ziexs again knowing how good its wet traction is, or risk having slightly worse wet traction and better dry traction and get the Falken Azenis ST115s? Its going on a 240 :thumb:

512's for me... The 115's wore pretty fast on my ride.

Yup. no rubbing... the tires are just shit.. I swapped back to a set of corded race slicks and drove the rest of the day with no problems.

Discount looked at them and gave me shit for rubber in the wheel wells... tried to void the warranty on them.. Then I showed them the worn out race slicks in the trunk. they still wouldn't touch them.. so eff 'em.. I won't buy Falken again.

ziex 502's or 512's or good tires. i'm currently on AVS ES100's, which is a better tire than both models, but the 512's are probably the best bang for the buck.
